BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 20, 2015
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jason Autrey
SUBJECT: Request to Purchase Additional Park Land Adjacent to Eagle Park
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: 1
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request Board approval to purchase approximately 1.03 acres
located at 2982 E James Lee Blvd. for the expansion of the existing county park, Eagle Park, in
District 1.
BACKGROUND: The property located at 2982 E James Lee Blvd. (approx. 1.03 acres) is
available for purchase. The property is adjacent to an existing small county neighborhood park
known as Eagle Park. Currently the amenities located in Eagle Park consist of 2 small benches, a
picnic table and trash receptacles. The park is currently sparingly used by the residents in the Del
Cerro Vista subdivision.
The purchase of the additional property would allow space for additional amenities such as a
play structures and picnic pavilions to be incorporated with the existing amenities in Eagle Park.
This would provide an added neighborhood park that would service residents in District 1 which
has the least amount of parks at this time.
An appraisal performed in July by Humphrey and Associates, Inc. returned an appraised value of
$90,000. However, a major concern with cost was the additional factor associated with the
amount of demolition and cleanup work that will be required before any new construction could
begin on the property. With the added cost associated with demolition, Parks staff presented a
verbal offer of $45,000. In working with the owner’s real estate agent a counter verbal offer of
$48,000 has been agreed on.
A potential funding source for the proposed property would be the Neighborhood Park Fee fund
which currently has $51,000 that was collected from developments in District 1, these funds
must be used by FY17. The lack of available park land in District 1 limits the potential for
expenditure of these funds.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove the purchasing of the property located at 2982 E James Lee
Blvd. for $48,000 for the expansion of Eagle Park in District 1.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Request Board approval to purchase approximately 1.03 acres at
2982 E James Lee Blvd. for $48,000 utilizing funds from the Neighborhood Park Fee fund for
the expansion of Eagle Park in District 1.
